Venue: Craven Cottage
The Premier League is rolling on, and this one’s a proper London clash — Fulham hosting Arsenal at Craven Cottage. The Gunners are flying high at the top, looking sharper than ever under Mikel Arteta. Fulham, meanwhile, are trying to shake off a rough couple of weeks and find some spark in front of goal.
It’s the kind of fixture that usually leans Arsenal’s way, but Craven Cottage has tripped up a few big teams before. So, can Marco Silva’s side pull off an upset, or will Arsenal’s title charge roll on? Let’s find out.
Fulham come into this one with a clean bill of health — no major injuries to report, which is rare these days. Marco Silva’s got all his key men available, and you can bet he’ll be expecting a big shift after that 3–1 defeat at Bournemouth last time out. Ryan Sessegnon should keep his place after scoring there, while Alex Iwobi and Harry Wilson are both pushing to start out wide.
Arsenal also look in good shape fitness-wise. Mikel Arteta has a full squad to choose from, which means options galore. Martin Ødegaard’s still a doubt with a knock, so new signing Eberechi Eze could get another start in that advanced midfield role — and honestly, he’s looked lively. Viktor Gyökeres is expected to lead the line again, with Saka and Trossard flanking him.
Fulham: Leno; Castagne, Diop, Andersen, Bassey; Cairney, Berge; Wilson, Iwobi, Sessegnon; Chukwueze
Arsenal: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Zubimendi, Eze; Saka, Gyökeres, Trossard
This game has “tight but controlled” written all over it. Arsenal have conceded just three goals all season and only one from open play. That’s crazy solid. Fulham, on the other hand, have scored more than once in just one of their first seven league matches. So yeah, goals might be hard to come by for the home side.
If you’re looking at the betting angles:
Fulham will sit deep, try to frustrate, and hope to catch Arsenal on the break. But Arteta’s men look too composed right now.
Picture Arsenal controlling the ball, keeping Fulham pinned in their half, and eventually breaking through. Bukayo Saka’s energy on the right, Gyökeres’ strength up top, and Eze’s creativity in midfield — it’s a lot for Fulham to handle.
Fulham might get a half-chance or two through Sessegnon or Iwobi, but Arsenal’s defence looks like a brick wall. Saliba and Gabriel are reading everything, and Raya’s barely had to make tough saves lately.
Match Prediction: Arsenal to win. Bet with bet365.
Honestly, this feels like another professional Arsenal performance. Nothing flashy, just efficient. They’ll score, shut it down, and move on.
Correct Score Prediction: Fulham 0–2 Arsenal
That same scoreline’s popped up plenty for the Gunners this season — and it wouldn’t be surprising if it did again.
Correct Score Prediction: Fulham 0–2 Arsenal. Bet with bet365.
Here’s where it gets interesting. Arsenal’s games haven’t exactly been goal-fests lately — they’ve averaged just over 2 goals per match. Fulham’s matches are similar, so under 3.5 feels safe.
If you’re after a higher price, you could go for exactly 2 goals in the match, since that’s been a trend with Arsenal’s wins lately.
Over/Under Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a combo that makes sense for Sunday’s game:
That covers the most likely script — Arsenal steady, Fulham struggle to create, and Eze finally getting on the scoresheet.
Bet Builder Tip: Under 3.5 Goals, Eze to Score Anytime, BTTS No. Bet with bet365.

Arsenal are strong favourites — they should win comfortably.
I’m going with Arsenal 2–0 Fulham.
Probably not. Arsenal’s defence has been too good, and Fulham lack firepower.
Eberechi Eze or Bukayo Saka are the standout picks.
